The vet just called.
She said Misha is doing well. She's eating and drinking and her fever is still gone. She said they flushed out her incision and restitched it all up. She said she checked on Misha last night, and this morning, and will do once again this evening. She said she is still oozing a little bit, but she is getting better. She said Misha cannot have any excitement for a good while and to keep her in a room to herself, away from our other 2 cats. Misha was schedule for a vaccine tomorrow, something that was scheduled weeks ago, but she said they won't be vaccinating her while she is still recovering.
She confirmed Misha is the ONLY animal there. I knew it since this animal hospital is in a very rural area. She said I can come get her after 9:30am tomorrow, but she must be kept in a quiet room for the entire next week. I told her that would not be a problem at all. We talked about the infection, and she said truly it could take only a couple of quick licks to the incision site to start an infection like this. She said it doesn't take much.
This vet could not have been nicer. This office has 2 locations, one vet at each one, and I have always liked this vet's personality better. She's younger and has a lighter personality that I respond better too. The other vet that I saw yesterday is kind of rough around the edges. Ive always appreciated doctors who have a good "beside manner", especially when someone I love is sick. I can put up with rough around the edges when nothing is at stake, like a typical yearly checkup, but if I'm dealing with something serious, I want some compassion and empathy from the provider. Anyway, I'm so glad that she was the one taking care of Misha. I think I'm going to start going to this location from now on. It's farther away than the satellite location Ive been going to, but it's worth it..
Oh, I know what she said, she said Misha's layer of skin under the incision is fully intact and it wouldn't have been if she had peritonitis. She stressed that this is a very important finding and is something that has been in Misha's favor, in terms of her recovery all along, and not dealing with something a lot more serious.
I am so grateful to all of you for your support and understanding. Your posts were a source of comfort this weekend.
